Q&A with Producer Graeme Isaac

Synopsis:

In the Summer of 1969 a young man is filled with the life of the idyllic old pearling port Broome: fishing and hanging out with his mates and his girl. However, his mother returns him to the religious mission for further schooling. After being punished for an act of youthful rebellion, he runs away from the mission on a journey that ultimately leads him back home

Notes:

Bran Nue Dae is an infectiously joyful Australian Aboriginal musical.

Reviews:

"The next time someone tells you that "all Australian films are depressing", point them in Bran Nue Dae's direction." Lynden Barber The Australian

"It's almost impossible not to be swept up by the exuberant fun of this singing, dancing, irony-laced ode to the repression, reeducation and resistance of Australia's indigenous tribal peoples circa 1969." - LA Times

"..., features some great original ideas and a bunch of catchy song and dance numbers sure to delight audiences of all ages."  Reel Talk
